Battling Big Tech’s Bias

I have often made the point that the left is not interested in trying to win public-policy debates. It wants to make important debates impossible by making conservative ideas unspeakable and unavailable. Here’s the latest example.

I have often made the point that the left is not interested in trying to win public-policy debates. It wants to make important debates impossible by making conservative ideas unspeakable and unavailable. Here’s the latest example. 

The Federalist is totally within the mainstream of American conservatism. There is nothing unusual about its content except its exceptional writing. Some of my columns have been published there. 

Evidently, Google and NBC News conspired with a left-wing group in Great Britain in an attempt to shut down The Federalist, depriving Americans of yet another outlet for conservative news and opinion. Evidently, the issue wasn’t anything The Federalist had written but some of the reader remarks in their comments section.

Thankfully, there has been some pushback, but it remains to be seen whether it will significantly matter.

This is yet another sign of what the left intends to do once it controls all the levers of power. It is going after every expression of conservatism.

Here’s another example. Bill Palmer is a left-wing blogger with hundreds of thousands of followers. Tuesday, he posted a totally unhinged rant against all conservatives. Consider these excepts:

It’s time we acknowledge that conservatism isn’t just some political view. It means you’re the very bottom rung of society, dangerous and deranged… People who flaunt their conservatism are psychotic…

Conservatives CANNOT be teachers, police officers, doctors, lawyers, coaches, or bosses… Conservatives can do menial work, until they’re ready to join the human race.

This is a persistent theme on the left, which is constantly trying to force men and women of faith to bend to their will. The left wants to force doctors and even nuns to be complicit in abortions. President Trump issued an order to stop it, but that order will be one of the first things to go if Joe Biden is elected president.

But don’t think Palmer’s ranting is just the musing of some wacko. This week, Rep. Sean Patrick Mahoney of New York, a sitting member of Congress, attacked the phrase “religious liberty” for being “a bogus term.”

The stakes could not be greater this November, my friends.

Progressives Pressure Biden

Never-Trumpers who think we will get back to normal debates and have less division in America if Biden is elected are deluding themselves. The remarks by Bill Palmer and Rep. Mahoney should make that abundantly clear, as they would be empowered by a Biden victory.

But just in case you need more convincing, at least 50 progressive and socialist groups are pressuring Biden to fully embrace their left-wing agenda. They know America is at a tipping point, and they don’t want “normal." 

In fact, their letter specifically warns Biden that "A ‘return to normalcy’ will not suffice.” Got that, Never-Trumpers? 

One of the things this coalition is upset about is Biden’s pledge to commit $300 million to additional community policing. It denounced that idea, writing, “We are here to tell you, unequivocally, that that is NOT the answer." 

It is demanding that Biden commit to defunding the police, insisting that he "ensure that the federal government permanently ends and ceases any further appropriation of funding to local law enforcement in any form.”

And don’t assume that this is just a fringe position Biden can ignore. Polling shows that most Democrats support cutting police funding.

As I have repeatedly warned you, Joe Biden is no “moderate.” He’s no “centrist." Newsweek recently declared that Biden plans "the most radical economic overhaul since FDR." 

Biden has swung hard left. He’s all in on fundamentally transforming America. Trust me, if Joe Biden wins this November, there will be no "return to normalcy.”

“Very Compassionate”

As I mentioned in yesterday’s report, President Trump met with several families who have lost loved ones during interactions with law enforcement. Among those present at the White House meeting was Wanda Cooper-Jones, the mother of Ahmaud Arbery. 

Cooper-Jones told one reporter after the event, “I think the president was very receiving. He’s very compassionate. He did assure each family member that we would and should expect change.”

The Crisis We Can’t Talk About

Kudos to Mollie Hemingway!

Tuesday night on Fox News, Hemingway pointed out that the most consequential issue facing America today is the breakdown of the family, especially minority families, and few have the courage to talk about it today. 

I have been talking about it for decades. I wrote a report about it for President Ronald Reagan and was viciously attacked for doing so. A courageous Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Monyihan, talked about it years ago, and it nearly destroyed his career. 

Sadly, Hemingway is right — this crisis still does not attract enough attention today.
